85 Wharawhara Road, Katikati, Western Bay Of Plenty, Bay Of Plenty

This quality 3.13ha lifestyle/orchard is both well planted and well planned but ripe and ready for kiwifruit re-development perhaps? The impressive home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite. Designed for passive heating, it enjoys excellent all-day winter sun. From the kitchen bench, take in a tranquil water view. The private deck off the master suite faces north. Downstairs, there is three-car basement garaging.

The sheltered native garden is protected by a large Pohutukawa. A variety of mature fruit trees are well managed and produce heavy crops. The vegetable garden is abundant. A spectacular rocky river offers the perfect spot to cool off. Approximately 70 twenty-year-old healthy and well-managed avocado trees on 0.8ha could easily be re-developed into kiwifruit to add value. The freshwater bore is ideal for irrigating new plantings. The 1.3ha lower plateau (currently hay paddocks) is fully sheltered and ready to plant high-value G3 Gold, or new varietal red or green kiwifruit. The upper and lower plateaus are connected by an all-weather access track.

The three-bay shed is highly functional, with ablutions, a concrete floor, and secure lock-up. A lean-to for one of the two tractors, the hydralada, or the wood splitter - just a few of the many chattels included in the sale. After many years of care and dedication, the vendor is retiring, offering you the opportunity to thrive and further develop this fertile land in a great location close to town.
